Villanueva Suffers Broken Nose During Atlanta Win

You can't blame Pistons fans if they start wondering what's next.

You can add power forward Charlie Villanueva to the list of injured Pistons after today's 94-88 home victory over the Hawks to snap a seven-game losing streak.

Villanueva suffered a broken nose with 9:30 left when he was fouled by the Hawks' Zaza Pachulia on a drive to the basket. As he was falling his face appeared to hit near the hip of teammate Ben Wallace.

His nose started bleeding profusely and a time-out was taken. Pistons personnel was able to slow the bleeding just enough so Villanueva could make the two free throws. He then went to the locker room and never returned.

He will have his nose set on Monday and the Pistons will have more on his availability for Wednesday night's game at Chicago then.

The Pistons' injury list includes Rip Hamilton (right ankle sprain), Tayshaun Prince (ruptured disk) and Ben Gordon (left ankle sprain).

Props to Charlie V for hitting his last 2 free throws. :bow:

Hopefully, he can play again this Wednesday against Chicago. If not, he should take the time he needs to heal.
